A Lincoln County home caught fire Friday afternoon and the fire chief there says he had reason to be suspicious.
Officials tell LEX 18 that there were two separate fires in the home, one by the water heater and another in the kitchen on the counter. The fire spread into the attic causing heat and smoke damage to the house. The owner says it is possibly a total loss.
Firefighters were suspicious because of the unlikelihood of two separate fires. Also the back door was open.

He told LEX 18 he leaves his back door open all the time.
